One of my friends forgot to make the Darken Circle of MCQ Booklet No. in the CA-final Examination of IDT exam. So, would there be any problems in verifying the Answer Sheet?

Darken the circle around each MCQ answer done on the Answer sheet.

12 August 2025 Hey! If your friend forgot to darken the circle for the Booklet Number on the CA Final MCQ answer sheet, here’s what generally happens:

The Booklet Number is used by the OMR system to identify which question paper version the candidate attempted.

If the booklet number circle is left blank or not darkened properly, the OMR machine might face difficulty in scanning and matching answers to the right question paper version.

Possible Consequences:
It may lead to manual verification of the answer sheet.

Usually, the examiners have a process for such cases where the booklet number is missing or unclear—they cross-check with the physical booklet provided.

However, it might cause delay in evaluation.

If the booklet number is not properly recorded and causes mismatch, it may affect scoring accuracy, though in practice they try to avoid any candidate being unfairly treated.

Suggestion:
If possible, your friend should inform the exam authorities or ICAI exam helpline ASAP about this issue.

Keep the admit card, question booklet, and answer sheet safely as proof.

Generally, while it can cause inconvenience or delay, it usually doesn’t lead to disqualification or outright rejection if handled timely and properly by the board.
